Smile Surgery Tomorrow, Yikes !!

I was scared every time I had surgery. It is normal and very human to be scared. If you weren't your docs would probably think something was wrong with you.
I am a bit of a control freak. I had some surgeries with general anethesia and some with only local anethesia, so I could see what was going on !! After awhile I learned to keep my mouth shut and just listen and watch during the ones with only local anethesia. I learned alot. Smile. I also recovered faster, because I didn't have to worry about a drug hangover and I could get back to normal faster. I realize that method is not for everybody.
Ask God to guide and protect you through your experience. Ask God to help your docs to do their best. Take good care of yourself after the surgery and get well quickly. Everyone here is cheering for you.
